You Know You Gotta Help Me Out

During the conference this last week, we had the opportunity to hear from a number of incredible individuals, but the statement and idea that will stick with me for a long time came from Louie Giglio.

Louie is the founder of the Passion Conferences that focus on training and equipping college students to go out in pursuit of a revolution that will sweep campuses for Christ. When someone asked Louie about the Passion offices and programs, he said that they are very simple because they are attempting to travel light and "leave no monuments." When someone asked what he meant about that, his answer came in the form of an amazing analogy.

He said that in the scope of what they feel God is doing in the Millenial Generation they are merely a fuse for the explosion that is going to occur. After an explosion no one ever talks about the fuse, they only remember the explosion, and that is how Louie sees his mission. Everything that they do is focused on the glory of God and making his renown an even greater thing.

Sometimes we lose focus of why we do the things we do in Christianity. Why evangelism? Is it simply so we can put numbers on a tally board for heaven vs. hell? No, it is something much more than that. By adding more to our number, we increase the number of people who can worship God and give him the unending glory he is due.

Life in that context is much more hopeful and that much more beautiful.
